Hard to say...looks like they could be hydroids but I really can't tell. Can you get a better pic?

Ditto. Hydroids were my first thought, but the pic is too blurry to tell for sure.

There are many different types of hydroids...

Do they look like these?

yes, identical, bad???? or what should I do, they've been growing around my zoas but dont really seem to be hurting anything.

They're more unsightly than anything and that particular hydroid doesn't seem to sting as badly as some others. They will however spread very quickly. You can try removing that rock and scraping it off or just removing that rock altogether. I haven't had to deal with them in a very long time so maybe someone else can chime in with possible suggestions. BTW, do you own a blow torch? :lol:

yes i have a blow torch, but my GSPs, and Zoanthids are on the same rock,,,,,, I'm not scrapping the whole rock.
